Australian television presenter Karl Stefanovic has been removed from his co-hosting role on The Long Weekend, a newly launched radio programme on Gold FM (a national Australian commercial network owned by ARN Media), following an advertiser boycott triggered by his podcast interview with British far-right activist Tommy Robinson. ARN Media confirmed that co-host Eddie McGuire would present the show alone this week, while Nine Entertainment — which pays Stefanovic an estimated A$2.8 million annual contract to host the breakfast programme Today — is widely expected to formally sever ties with him, though the company has yet to make a public announcement. Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese alluded to the fallout, warning that media personalities who drift to the fringes of mainstream political debate risk real professional consequences.
